Looking for app that "Word wraps"

Hi,
Please for give my ignorance on this and how I explain it.

On my HTC Evo, when I zoom in on page, all the text is formated in "word wrap" I mean that I don't have to scroll left or right read a paragraph. I only need to scroll down.

I can't seem to do this on my new S3.

Is there an app or a setting that I can try? I am using the stock built in browser.

Thanks in advance,

Rod

I tried several browsers and the only one that allowed automatic word wrap is Opera.
So I can say my search for a fix has ended.

I hope this helps others with the same issue.

Thanks, tried every other browser looking for the "Word Wrap" function but never thought to try Opera.
Works great, thanks for the post :D

Can't you just double tap to get it to fit the screen?

That's not the same as what he's asking. Word wrap/text reflow actually re formats the paragraph to fit the screen no matter how far you zoom in. You zoom in enough and you might end up having two words per line...that's a little extreme but you get the idea. It makes it easier to read from far away or if you just have bad eyesight like me.

I tried to like Opera, but just couldn't get there, despite that its the only browser that word wraps. I found when properly set up, Firefox allowed me to view most websites easily without having to zoom, or scroll side to side. Plus it allows you to sync all of your bookmarks and tabs, from your desktop computer, if you're using Firefox on your PC.

Like I said, boat browser does it too..and works very well. I've tried them all, to me it has the best of both worlds..reflow, fast, works like the stock browser

In my phone I zoom into where I want it, double tap, and it fits it to my zoom level.
Double tap again and it zooms all the way out, double tap from there and it fits to screen.

Sucks the s3 doesn't do that.
 
This is one item that I liked on the HTC phones that I have owned. The incredible and rezound did this on any page I was looking at. I thought this was the norm for all phones till I got my S3 and found it doesn't do that. This should be a standard for any smartphone.
